Hey, I'm back again this year to shout into the void and perhaps lure some of you into our very active 18+ borderlands server focused on characters like
Handsome Jack, Rhys Strongfork, Timothy Lawrence and Katagawa Jr. !!!!
as well as their respective ships (rhack, rhysothy, jackothy, rhysagawa, etc.) and self-shipping. Aside from that, we also have a shared space with everyone and our members can host events (ex. Secret Santa event.) Whilst the server may be 18+ only, we have dedicated channels for nsfw talk. "Dead Dove"/illegal discussions are not allowed on the server!
So, if you like one of these characters and would like to connect with others who share the same interests, then The ECHO-net Corner is for you! For more information on how to join, read below cut.
How it works:
Once you join the server, you will have to read the very important rules of how things work. It is essential that you will read this, otherwise repeated offenses will result either in a kick from the server or being banned.
Once you have agreed to the rules, you can then introduce yourself and pick up a role for your profile, as seen in the image below, which will give you access to the channels for that specific character, or ship, depending on which of these roles you pick.
Please note that picking the role for ex. Jack does not automatically give you access to channels that include a ship with Jack, like rhack, jackothy or rhackothy. It will only give you access to Jack, and Jack only, specific channels (see picture below.)
The above picture also shows the organizational side of the server, and what kind of channels you can expect. Each channel has a description on what it should contain, but if you are unsure on where to post something, you can always ask the mod team!
I repeat, this is only for those 18 and above, as there are adult conversations happening on this server.
How to join:
With that said, if you would like to join this community, please either reply to this post with something along the lines of "I wish to join", or message me via a DM or ask, and I will send you an invite link. There is no limit to how many people can join. This announcement will apply until further notice, so if you find this in the future, you can still join! :)
For those who may have joined in the past and have left for one reason or another, you are still welcome!
Best licensed music used in the Borderlands series.
Judged by the general quality of the song, how well it works in terms of presenting the scene and game as a whole, and vibes.
Ooh great question. Rather than a tierlist I opted for a list so I can elaborate on my favorites a bit cause context matters here. I'm including trailers because some of the music choices in the trailers are really good. I couldn't pick just 5 so have a top 6.
6: Fantastic Voyage by Coolio - Claptastic Voyage DLC trailer. A total no-brainer but just a great vibe and a really catchy song.
5: Everybody Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung - Borderlands 2 GOTY trailer. Just a really good trailer that really sells BL2 as a "party" game about hanging out with your friends, and a perfect song choice.
4: Come with Me Now by KONGOS - Pre-Sequel "Last Hope" trailer. The best trailer in the franchise in my humble opinion. It gives the vibe of a goofy adventure, while also selling the fact you're playing as a more gung-ho and morally flexible group of characters in this one.
3: Busy Earnin' by Jungle - Tales from the Borderlands episode 1 intro. A really strong start for one of the best stories in the franchise. Excellent choice for a first song, as all the characters are at this point motivated solely by money. It really sells their foolish optimism and disregard for anything else as they arrive on this dangerous-as-hell planet.
2: Retrograde by James Blake - Tales from the Borderlands episode 5 intro. From the first intro to the last one, this one again really sells the vibe as the cast escapes the destruction of Helios station. The iconic landmark from Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel meeting its demise gets an appropriately somber song as the song drives home the consequences of the characters' actions. This one really stuck with me.
1: Short Change Hero by The Heavy - Borderlands 2 intro. Just iconic. What a great choice. The perfect slow-paced tonesetter for BL2, framing Pandora as a dangerous, lawless place. Borderlands 2 is a much zanier game than the first, but just from this intro you could tell there was something here that was really worth paying attention to. Like the Tales ep 5 intro, this franchise really hits when it knows to slow down and take things seriously for a bit. This was the sequence that made The Heavy "the Borderlands band."
